rule number one straight from the old school: college degrees don't mean nothing if you don't have common sense

[ajjamaal]

Bob Marley was mixed race, Malcom X's mother was mixed race. Since when does being any race disqualify you from standing up to injustice.

Roland is the Truth. I'm an asian man but I don't have to be a black person to speak up or stand up for what is right or wrong in regards to social injustice. Everyone's voice matters and be heard!!!!

[anthonymason]

Colin was in a very very comfortable position and he started kneeling, had things taken from him, but he just kept kneeling. Love this young man for taking a stand.

[brandonf.]

Damn, Marcellus really threw Colin to the wolves over not being black enough. He played right into the master's hand.

Last time I checked Egyptians lived on this continent called Africa...the place we all come from

Oh Roland put Marcellus Wiley on straight BLAST! 💣💥

Much, Much Love Mr Roland. Gaining equality is by Any Means Necessary. We welcome all nationalities to join in on the pursuit to equality. I also want to thank all nationalities who have been instrumental in this pursuit today. THANKS

My family is a 4th generation military family. Every male in my family has served in every branch of the military and none have issues with kneeling.

[emiolaomotayo]

Thank You for addressing that madness. Just wow!

[wavealip]

Great video. The mic drop is around @ 30:00 . When has Marcellus Wiley ever spoke out police brutality during his entire career? Look who they work for goodness sakes.. Fox Sports so their integrity is already comprised from the get go.

I absolutely love all the words Mr. Roland Martin had to say. Everything that was needed and necessary to say, he said it. this soo good & on point.

[marquistaylor]

Damn man black people just been selling out lately that a damn shame

[crystaleyes]

This is what they mean when they say "all skin folk ain't kinfolk "
I love how roland calls out these fools in the most simplistic ways.

You use your platform to critize people who use their platform to protest racial injustice.

Just my opinion but i don't trust any black person on fox news

[ericy]

Glad I saw this. Never knew this about Marcellus.

Et Tu Marcellus 🔪

Just came back to revisit this after the Minnesota police/KKK killing of an unarmed black man. I always respected what colin was trying to do.

[petermorton]

If Kap wrong Ali, Rosa Park, MLK, Malcolm X and the list goes on was wrong

[romamartin]

Thank you for opening this conversation. It is a frustrating feeling having black people come across as almost mad at you because they imagine that you have not suffered enough to meet some arbitrary standard of racism. Racism is not measured in degrees when you are on the receiving end of it every day in some way be it messaging or adverse interaction at work. It is a conversation that must be had among ourselves as we move out of 2020.
